Wow, I agree completely, and I've got the smashed-up car to prove
it!  That poor tree wasn't hurtin' nobody...   OTOH, maybe it
was a mercy killing for the poor Ford Escort.

I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, as I replaced that car with
the Miata...

To answer the question, though, I found that 'Rent A Heap Cheap'
has several high-mileage compacts with stick shifts.  They
were friendly and easy to deal with.  I've also heard that you can
rent a stick-shift Miata for something like $50/day up in the city...
